Summary
A silent epidemic is sweeping the U.S. — alpha gal syndrome, a deadly meat and dairy allergy triggered by a lone star tick bite, now affects nearly half a million Americans. With reactions ranging from nausea to life-threatening anaphylaxis, sufferers must scrutinize every label, from groceries to medications, often battling hidden allergens like gelatin or “natural flavorings.” Advocates are pushing Congress to classify alpha gal as a major food allergen and mandate ingredient labeling on meds — a critical step to protect those living with this invisible, escalating threat.
